The crypto community is abuzz with anticipation and confusion as the final deadline for the SEC’s decision on spot Bitcoin ETF applications approaches. This comes in the wake of a false news report that prematurely announced the approval of these applications.
Despite the confusion, experts are optimistic that the approval is on the horizon, a development that could be a game-changer for the Bitcoin market and the entire cryptocurrency industry.
Eric Balchunas, a renowned Bloomberg ETF expert, is confident that this day will be remembered as the “ETF Approval Day”. He believes that all systems are set for the approval and expects formal announcements to be made around 4-6 pm today. The actual trading of ETFs is expected to start on Thursday. Bloomberg is ready to cover this historic event, with DES (Data Exploration System) pages already set up.
However, Balchunas has suggested that SEC Chairman Gary Gensler should hold a press conference in light of the recent hacking of the SEC’s X account. He believes that Gensler should acknowledge the hack, admit any mistakes, outline the steps taken to rectify the situation, and then announce the official approval of the ETFs.
If the approvals are granted, it would be a significant milestone for the industry. The world’s largest asset managers are ready to offer Bitcoin ETF, a move that could open new investment opportunities for institutional and retail investors. This could further cement Bitcoin’s status as a mainstream financial asset.
The impact of the ETF approvals could extend beyond the Bitcoin market. It could lead to increased adoption and legitimacy of cryptocurrencies, attracting more investors and potentially reshaping the future of the crypto industry.
As the crypto community eagerly awaits the SEC’s official announcement on the Bitcoin ETF applications, all eyes are on the regulatory body to see if the expected approvals will indeed materialize.
